Civil War “EXCELSIOR” Brigade Patriotic Silk Ribbon
c. 1863 Civil War Period, Patriotic Gold Print on Silk Ribbon, “EXCELSIOR”, Choice Very Fine.
This original Silk Ribbon measures 3.75” x 1” of off-white ribbon with “EXCELSIOR” printed on it in bright Gold. This Patriotic Ribbon appears to be Civil War commemorative in use celebrating the famed New York Excelsior Brigade, also known as “Sickles Brigade”. Minor expected fraying at its left and right edges and having traces of prior mounting at each corner tip, otherwise bright gold in print and clean. The Excelsior Brigade was a military unit in the Union Army during the American Civil War. Mainly composed of infantry regiments raised in the State of New York primarily by former U.S. Congressman Daniel Sickles, the brigade served in several of the Army of the Potomac's most important battles in the Eastern Theater, including Chancellorsville and Gettysburg.
